IAI PRESENTS: Food, Facts and Fantasy >>

"The earth has a skin and that skin is diseased; the disease is called humanity”. So said Nietzsche.

Biologists now claim that the predatory character of humans is leading to the sixth mass extinction: the Anthropocene extinction. Should we regard humans as a product of nature, and see our dominance of the earth as a natural outcome of evolution? Or is it a signal for us to revolutionize how we eat in order to change the course of the future?

Speakers Making up the debate panel will be four world-leading voices on sustainability and environmentalist theory including former leader of The Green Party Natalie Bennett, radical philosopher T!M Freke, environmentalist monk Dada Jyotirupananda and London foodie and cook Rosie Birkett. Institute of Philosophy director and IAI alumni Barry C. Smith hosts to keep this feast of ideas on course.

Food, Facts and Fantasy is the last of three IAI Events coming to London in spring 2018. Join this unique evening of debate, discussion and music as world-leading speakers explore the future of our relationship with the earth.
